Greetings to You, our Kona Ice and Travelin’ Tom’s Valued Business Partners!
"The rising tide lifts all boats." I'm not sure who originally said this, but I do know John F. Kennedy popularized it, and it’s very appropriate to describe our relationship with our business partners as we move into 2023.
It's been 15 years! 1,500 Kona Ice franchises, 50 new Travelin’ Tom’s franchises (on our way to 2,500!) and now close to 1,500 people are coming to our 2023 Konvention!
Now that’s a rising tide, and we want you to ride alongside us.
In 2023, we anticipate doubling our annual growth rate from even our best year. And that is great news for all of us.
As you may be aware, we are coming up on our annual Kona Ice Konvention in February. Our Konventions are designed to do three things: inspire, educate, and motivate. The heart of Kona Ice and Travelin' Toms flows through our franchisees. Getting them together for this annual event is like a tonic for them. It gives them the mental and physical tools necessary to enter their next season with fresh ideas and renewed motivation. The need for a Kona Ice Konvention cannot be overstated. Along with their flights, travel, and lodging, we try to subsidize the event for our franchisees so every one of them has the opportunity to attend.
We want you to help us fill the gaps and be recognized as a partner with Kona Ice and Travelin’ Tom’s.
This year our theme is Wild Wild Kona,
(click for a teaser) harkening to the Old West and the land of opportunity that was available out on the great frontier. Our future is bright and the growth for our franchise is limitless.
We will be gathering together and taking over the entire Northern Kentucky Convention Center from February 2nd-5th, 2023. We have filled up 4 adjacent hotels and need lots of transportation from the airport to the Convention Center.
We are the LARGEST mobile food concept in the world! We want to showcase you and your company so our franchisees know who they share their journey with!
We don’t ask for you to be separated off in a vendor's hall—we provide you setup in the main congregating areas with a constant flow of franchisees.
